About

Professor Michael Crawford, Imperial College, London, is the Director of the Institute of Brain Chemistry and Human Nutrition. He is the world's leading expert on nourishment of the human brain, especially in relation to dietary fats.

In 2013, in his acceptance speech for the Brain Trust Brain of the Year Award in London, Professor Crawford outlined the urgent need for humankind to provide proper sustenance to the brain. He directed attention to the reduced and limited arable mass of the planet, and there not being enough to meet an urgent nutritional requirement for the globe's population. In the 1970s, Professor Crawford recognized an important connection between dietary fats to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, and the brain is better protected, but is dependent on specialized essential fats and will eventually be affected by changing nutritional conditions, especially by dietary fats.

Professor Crawford's prediction that "the brain would be next" was published. The change in mental disease profile cannot be due to the change in the genome in such a short time. Moreover, the nutritional conditions are unlikely to neither change DNA nor change the proteins. However, the cell membrane lipids house at least third of known cellular proteins. There are receptors, transporters, anti-oxidant systems, and signalers and, hence, a change in the physical chemistry of their domains will influence protein function. In addition, specific essential fatty acids act as ligands for nuclear receptors and manipulate gene expression.

Professor Crawford's research has been acknowledged in the international community of scholars. He is the leading figure when it comes to brain ability methods and brain nutrition.
